An Iraqi girl who fled with her parents the fighting between Iraqi forces and Islamic State militants, puts on her boots as she waits to cross to the Kurdish controlled area, in an open field in the Nineveh plain, northeast of Mosul, Iraq, Friday, Nov. 18, 2016. Iraqi troops advanced cautiously into eastern districts of Mosul on Friday, facing stiff resistance from Islamic State militants a day after they paused their assault due to poor visibility, officers said. The pause also allowed the residents running out of food in areas liberated from IS to get some supplies from Iraqi troops and aid organizations. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
